Sakhira Nepal – black tea 70g
A well-known part of Nepal in South Asia, adjacent to China and India, is the Ilam area (on the east side of Nepal). Its climatic conditions and the composition and quality of the soil are exactly the same as those of Darjeeling – making it an extremely ideal area for growing tea. Despite the similarities to Darjeeling teas, Sakhira black teas brewed leaf has well-distinguished distinctive Assamese properties. Its delicacy and softness are also similar to the aroma of Assam teas. Our tea made in this region is named after the Sakhira Garden. This area was previously undeservedly undervalued, but thanks to the collaboration and persistent unbroken work of local tea growers, it is becoming more and more prominent among discerning tea drinkers. The so-called in limbu dialect, the word “Ilam” comes from a combination of two words. “I” refers to the word “winding” and “Lam” means road. From here, one can already guess that the roads that divide Ilam are winding, which of course favors tea growing.
